FC Barcelona-Athletic line-ups of the Round of 16 round of the Copa del Rey

FC Barcelona are bound to win Athletic on Wednesday if they do not want to lose the first title of the season. The Blaugrana must be imposed by at least one goal difference to overcome the 2-1 of the first leg and thus qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. It will not be easy, after the hesitant start of 2017, but with the gala team and the unconditional support of the Camp Nou is not impossible.

A gala team with two very big surprises: Cillessen will play in the goal and Rafinha in the middle of the field. The goalkeeper has received medical discharge and will occupy the post of Ter Stegen. And the midfielder canterano play to the detriment of Rakitic, who entered the call for André Gomes, discarded.

Piqué's refereeing complaints, the FIFA match and the bad game have created a very dangerous breeding ground for the team. The only way to appease the spirits is clearly winning the Athletic and do it, in addition, with a great football match. Let's talk football, which is when it best transmits this Barça. And, of course, speak the trident formed by Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. If MSN works, everything is easier.

The goals of the trident will be decisive to try uan a comeback. Without becoming epic, is essential for the immediate future of Luis Enrique's project.
